Halloween...a time for candy, cavities, costumes and carnivals! This past Wednesday, we had our very first Harvest Carnival. After a couple weeks of building, buying, painting, and outreach, we were ready to go! We had games, prizes, hot chili, and of course, candy; lots and lots of candy! There was a cake walk, sucker tree, bean bag toss, bowling, basket ball, and face painting with Joe, our very own clown!
At the beginning of the night, we weren't seeing too many people come through and we all had visions of eating chili and candy 'til Jesus came back! But as the night went on, they started to come and the candy level started to drop. We saw princesses, doctors, superheros, Jack Sparrow and some, well, we weren't quite sure what they were... We had around 150 people come throughout the night, and every piece of candy was gone and most of the food. I only got 7 pieces of candy, but I try not to be bitter... :) We got to meet new people and had opportunities to witess to the kids and their parents. The kids had fun with the games, and even some of the adults. We learned you could never have too much candy and you should never let a clown do his own make-up! (Haha! ;) Just kidding Joe!) The whole night was a wonderful time of food and fellowship! Although, I will never eat another bowl of chili again...EVER! :)
